Rural Engineuity

The West Baton Rouge Museum's newest exhibition, "Rural Engineuity," looks at the innovation of farmers throughout the history of the rural south. Two of the Louisiana inventors featured are: Leonard Julien, who invented a sugar cane planting machine, and Allen Ramsey Wurtele, who invented a cane harvester and mechanized much of his farm. Photographs of his inventions and blueprints will be on display among countless other testaments to the ingenuity of the era. westbatonrougemuseum.com.
